ABC, Easy as 1,2,3....

I recently received a Pottery Barn Kids mailer and saw this very cute lamp with rosettes. I think it cost about a zillion dollars.

Years ago I made almost the exact same lamp and shade for around 10 bucks, so I'd like to share this very easy project with you, my fellow bloggers... and Martha if she's checking.

SUPPLIES:

lamp and shade

fake flowers (dollar tree)

hot glue gun

acrylic paint and brush

1.Find an old ugly lamp in your attic or purchase one at a cheap store, ie. Goodwill, flea market, thrift store... or Walmart "dry heave".

2.Paint the base white, or whatever color you want with simple acrylic paint. Let dry.

3.Then cut the stems off the fake flowers and attach the blooms, base down all over the shade with a hot glue gun. (Be careful not to burn yourselves.)

4. Replace the shade and plug it in!

5. Stand back, admire, and throw the dollars you saved into the air, while laughing and spinning hysterically.
